I'm Gonna Be A DJ!!!

I'm picking up on a new hobby. Here are the turntables I plan on buying. I'm gonna get me two of these:

This is the Technics SL1210 MK5 Turntable, and they run at about $499. Need like $1000 for two, plus I need more money for a mixer. I think I'm gonna call myself DJ Psycho :bigyello:

Re: I'm Gonna Be A DJ!!!

That's a lot of money to spend on a new hobby!

Unless you've done it quite a bit before (like on friends decks) I would recommend going for much simpler equipment to start with. Just get yourself reasonable secondhand decks & mixer - you can apparently get a decent setup for about 1/5 of the price. Until you know what you are doing (which could take a while) the extra quality wont make any difference.

My memory might be a bit dodgy here, but I think my (non-famous) DJ friends have said that the MK4 is supposed to be better than the MK5 (even though it is older & cheaper).

Oh good idea. How do you plan to stop people confusing you with the 5000 other DJ's in the world with the same name?

I'm doing both hip hop and Techno, but not both at the same time. Just got myself some techno vinyls ;)

Yes I have been doing this stuff over at a friends house. It's time I get my own setup. :bigyello:

If you got the cash to fly over to Florida, you are welcome to party at my crib anytime. Hope you like some phat techno and trance mixes. :bigyello:

Now I have one question. Where the hell can I find some ICP vinyls?!! I've looked everywhere and haven't seen any. Wouldn't mind picking me up Riddlebox and The Great Milenko.
